LAS VEGAS (AP) -- MGM Resorts International Chief Executive Officer Jim Murren says Sharron Angle's election to the U.S. Senate would hurt Nevada's already struggling economy.
Murren said Tuesday that Angle's comment that the company's CityCenter development injured other businesses in Nevada was disappointing and perplexing. He questions how a U.S. Senate candidate could have such a "poor" understanding of business and economics.
Murren is a Republican who supports Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
You may recall that earlier in the campaign, Angle criticized Reid for helping the CityCenter project, a move that saved thousands of jobs. She also pledged to not help create jobs in Nevada if she's elected to the U.S. Senate.
People ask me, what are you going to do to develop jobs in your state? Well that's not my job as a U.S. Senator.
Angle's strange view on job creation -- that it's not a Senator's responsibility to be an advocate for their state's economy -- is a perfect example of why she won't ever have the honor of serving Nevada in the U.S. Senate. Don't take my word for it -- just listen to Republicans like Jim Murren.
